Malaysian Health Policy

Malaysia’s health policy aims to provide accessible, affordable, and quality healthcare for all citizens through a dual system of public and private services. The government funds comprehensive public hospitals and clinics, ensuring basic health coverage, especially for low-income groups. Meanwhile, the private sector offers specialized and premium services. The policy emphasizes disease prevention, health promotion, and equitable distribution of healthcare resources. It also incorporates strategies to address emerging health challenges like non-communicable diseases and pandemic response, striving for universal health coverage and improved health outcomes across the population.
